The speaker for the evening meeting was James Burch, Shortridge history teacher, who told his experiences during the last year when he taught at an African boys' school in southern Rhodesia. Mr. Burch Enjoys African Experiences Mr. Burch taught in this school of 200 boys for one school year. During this period he had time to travel 3,000 miles in Africa around Christmas time and 4,000 miles in Europe later in the year. He visited 21 countries in all, including most African nations and every Western European nation except for Spain and Portugal. Although he cofessed that he had never taken pictures before, Mr. Burch accompanied his talk with some excellent slides. It was noticeable to the History Club members that, for an amateur, Mr. Burch was rather proficient in photography. His pictures of Victoria Falls and of some wild animals were especially interesting.

Do you ever expect to go? If so, it would be safe to assume that you will be spending a few hundred dollars at the least. If you are not going to this gay country, then you are going to miss something rather exciting. How does a trip to Paris for $2.50 sound? Especially you boys —how often do you think you will be able to take your date into the land of romance for only $2.50? A .special trip to France is being organiized this Friday night. The tour will assemble at the gym and will take off at 8:30. The $2.50 flight fare guarantees passage on the Student Board travelways special (the gym doors), with arrival giving a full view of the Eiffel Tower, confronted by those fascinating kiosks, and in the romantic atmosphere that so characterizes "Paris in Spring." Guests will receive a ballot to vote for their favorite (Bluebelle) and pilot (Uglyman). Until the ballots are counted the tourists will sight- see and take in a little dancing. Some lively street bands are present in Paris, outstanding of which is the Fred Buck Quartet. Since this is the height of the tourist season, Paris merchants will furnish free refreshments. And later in this delightful evening, you will be treated to entertainment, the high point of which is the announcement of most popular hostess (Bluebelle) and pilot (Uglyman). Does this trip sound pretty nice? If you like the sound, but are still a little dubious, drop by Friday night about 8:30 and listen in for a while. Don't expect to get away, though. The atmosphere of Paris in the spring. is overpowering. Don't be late for the first flight. You will want to enjoy every minute of your trip. ranged from 14 to 24. They all spoke fluent English and were, for the most part, bright students. Mr. Burch has received a letter from one inquiring about scholarship possibilities in the United States. Mr. Burch's talk and slides agreed with those of senior Paul Davis, who spoke at an earlier meeting, in disproving the idea that Africa is still a primitve and wild country. Several modern towns and other signs of progress were evident even In Southern Rhodesia, which is in the heart of South Africa. Spring Trip Planned by Club History Club members decided (o take their spring trip to Southern Indiana with an overnight stay, at French Lick.
